Fozzy...just..speechless!!!

Alan,I think what you have noticed as dirty, actually seems to me as worn out/faded and chipped paint.

...couldnt write earlier cause trying to pick my jaw from the floor.....Just awesome,my trully congrats mate!

That's a great start and a marvelous banch of photos,looking forward to your progress.Are you gonna use Icarus decals?

What a beast,indeed. I'm really loving it. Your skills are incredible!

Thats a piece of art!

Thank you very much jettnett and Sean.

Thank you crowbar,shark and Pau..Glad you liked it. In the meanwhile,looking at the pics below,and having some styrenes left on my bench,decided to hang the engine up : And below you can see the scratch engine hoist:

Good luch mate with your nice model.

Below there is a small update with the cockpit installed for fitting test,and some engine compartments:

My consolation woody is that it has a long canopy consisting of 4 parts that will be left opened on purpose.

Your painting is stunning,waiting for more to come...

Thank you Steviej and Nico,glad you like it. An overall view of the cockpit with all elements put in place to see how they fit:

Thats right Paulo,Brazilian origin colour would be a great scheme.Here's a banch of photos from me.Wish good luck with your project,and hope you will consider constructing the inner surveilance section of fuselage too. Cheers,
